Sound Off: Forget the handshakes

I am calling in complete agreement with the person who said I wish the Catholic Church would forgo the handshaking during cold and flu season. I'm a Catholic and have been a Catholic all my life and I don't like the handshake and I think the Catholic Church should forgo the handshake all together. Just a nod of the head is good enough. You can also give them the peace sign. Forget the handshake.

Thanks for nothing

I just love my .11 cent an hour raise I got from the county nursing home. I just love the politicians for it. Isn't it wonderful. Thank you.

Enforce the code

Breaks my heart to see the city is in such desperate need of need of taxes when the mayor should get Code Enforcement out there and get landlords to clean up these properties. Since when can you just throw your garbage out on the street without putting it in a receptacle. Start citing these landlords and you will have a lot of revenue coming in Mr. Mayor.

Let us know

Nice to let people know Campbell Avenue is closed rather than have every city worker, truck and car parked on Campbell Avenue smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee.

Hire one for the Fire Department

As a Troy taxpayer I would also like to congratulate Police Chief John Tedesco for bringing overtime down maybe we should do the same with the Fire Department. Maybe we should hire a commissioner for the Fire Department to bring overtime down. If overtime goes back up we're looking over your shoulder Lou.

It's not right

It's pretty obvious that the City of Troy and the PBA are telling the mayor and the Council to appoint a commissioner because their overtime is being reduced. They want someone to go in there so their overtime goes back up. It's not right for the taxpayers.
